WASHINGTON, D.C. — Democratic FCC Commissioner Geoffrey Starks is welcoming a new Policy Advisor for wireless, space, and international issues. He is inbound from the office of the Ranking Member of the Communications and Technology Subcommittee.
Flynn Rico-Johnson, former Deputy Chief of Staff for Rep. Doris Matsui (D-Calif.), is taking the post in Starks’ office.
Rico-Johnson has also served as a Legislative Assistant to Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.),
and managed government affairs for the First Responder Network Authority (FirstNet).
He received a Master of Public Policy degree and his undergraduate degree from the
University of Minnesota.
Starks commended Rico-Johnson for his “deep knowledge of spectrum and technology issues – among the most important, and complex, topics we address at the Commission. Flynn is no stranger to public service, and I am glad that he will continue this important work in my office.”
Rico-Johnson succeeds Neşe Guendelsberger, who has returned to the Office of
International Affairs, where she is the Deputy Chief.
